Platemail Vs. Knight Armors - Guild Wars Forums

FrOzEnMaGe · Sep 29, 2005, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Hey guys,

i was just wandering if your making a new warrior, what would you pick between those two?

Platemail Set:-
+85Armor
+10Armor [vs Phys Dmg]

Knight Set:-
+80Armor
+10Armor [vs Phys Dmg]
Reduced damage from attacks

would you pick the +5Armor or "Reduced damage"?
another thing.. is it true that if you only have one part of knight armor it still gives you the full effect of "Reduced damage" as if you have full parts?

if no, then how much "Reduced damage" is it per part?

I pick knights for the main 2 facts:

1. I like the way it looks on my fem warrior

2. The dr stacks with an absorb rune added on it, the platemail does not have that ability.

Not sure what the actual AL is between the two after runes but it mainly just comes down to personal choice. Some people do go full platemail and just add the knights boots.

Glad's chest, legs, and gaunts (or stonefists if you're hammer) along with your +1 to attribute helm, and knight's boots remains the best combination.

To answer your other quesiton... yes, you only need one piece of knight's armor to get the global damage reduction bonus of -2.

LoL go with Plate and Knight piece (preferably gloves cause it looks better) with just only one piece of knight u get the reduced dmg to all of ur char reduced dmg of knight dont stack so its better with one piece

well, you could go for the knight's helm for +1 strength and the reduced damage or ascalon helm for the +1 tactics and reduced damage, then you could have full platemail or gladiator's.

No, having a +1 to your weapon usually is much more effective to a Warrior because most actually deal damage with their weapons.

Also, a Knight's helm didn't give damage reduction, last time I checked. So you'd get Tactics, which you don't really need in high levels generally.

Plate with Knight's Boots usually is most common; you can go with Knight's Gloves if you aren't ever going to use Stonefist Guantlets.
